JediBot can duel with lightsabers against human opponents

Students at Stanford University have created a “JediBot” that can fight a duel against a human opponent. JediBot is the first robot, or robot arm to be precise, that will actually duel with you using lightsabers. ightsabers don’t exist in real world, this robot is using sabers made out of foam.

The JediBot isn’t the fastest sparring partner you can find, delivering one swing every two to three seconds, but it does mean you don’t need to have any friends to practice your lightsaber skills.

It has two modes the attacking mode and the defending mode. In attacking mode, the robot will swing its saber at you using preloaded patterns, while in defending mode, robot utilizes Kinect motion controllers to detect the position of a saber and block any incoming attacks.
